Here's a shot from one of my recent wanderings: the old Quincy #8 shaft, also called the Mesnard Mine. This photo shows the access ladder on the headframe -- a huge collection of metal beams over top of the shaft. This isn't your normal Copper Country headframe -- this one was put in place in the mid 1970's, as part of an exploration on the old Quincy property. No ore came up through this headframe -- just men going down to scout out the old mine. Nothing ever came of it, and so we are left with this metal beast sitting along US-41.
